Get the cams bro. My car felt "ALIVE" after my cam installation and tune.

Just do cams. you'll get a solid 35-40whp out of them.

Then next round do:
-ported exhaust manifold
-IX turbo with ported turbine housing
-SS O2 housing

That will be worth another 30-40whp on your car!

I'd also say get the cams first. If you can save up enough money and get the ix turbo i'd do that too too save yourself the time and money of a retune. The gsc s1's made a big difference in my hp/tq numbers when i added them. I just bought a ix turbo and im going to install it this weekend and then have MELLON tune it in for me. Ill let you know how it turns out.

Here's my old numbers before cams: 287 whp 263 Tq

Here's the newest numbers after the S1's (102*F) 309 whp 308 tq

Hopefully after i install the nine turbo and with the addition of my new ebay 02 housing i'll be in the 335-345 whp range on 93.

Nice #s nyaegermeister. 22whp and 45wtq is impressive for just cams.

Well I broke down & bought some cams. Had them installed yesterday & still in the middle of getting them tuned. I did get on it though 1-4th gear with it only being half tuned & WOW...what a difference. Cant wait to feel the final product when were finished tuning.

4 Wheel Slide

Am I good for low 12s yet on this 9.8 hotside turbo?

depends on what ur car goal is.

if ur gonna stick to pump gas, the IX turbo is ur path.

if ur looking to make real power on cams u need to build the head.

do it right & not CHEAP so u can enjoy it & not be miserable. do ur research & ur car will run 11's on pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Per your sig you have cams already right? I would get cams and them the IX turbo. I notice you dont have injectors either, I would upgrade those while you are at it too.

Cams dude, not much point in the turbo till you do the cams.

Good deal. Here's what your before/after should look sorta like:



that's from my car, on dyno dynamics....266whp->304whp, 240wtq->283wtq

its almost a no-brainer
